Music video
The music video was directed by Nick Quested. American professional basketball player Rasual Butler starred in the music video. Trina is on the phone to her love interest, tells him she has had enough of him and his infidelity and announces that the relationship is over. Kelly supports Trina, shows her photographs of her love interest and another woman spending quality time together in a restaurant and Trina is devastated. With the relationship being over, she decides to move out, empties his house, puts his possessions for sale and she and Kelly get on a cab and smile. Her love interest comes home in a taxi, enters his home, notices all his belongings and possessions are gone, finds an envelope on the floor and picks it up. As he opens it, he pulls out the photographs containing him and his mistress and is shocked to discover Trina found out about the affair. It is shown that the other woman is also the person who drives them away. As her love interest is looking at the photos a muscular man walks into the house and lunges to attack him.
